Run tar and gzip.
And the directory tree you get won't build anywhere outside of the ON tree.
Of course not. It has not been ported anywhere else.
Who are you proposing to do that porting work? It's a *lot* of work,
and I suspect it's basically a worthless task given the much better
alternatives available.
But yet it is currently essential to us and undoubtedly others too.
Are
there _any_ developers out there who give a flying fig about snoop? All
you need is one.
I haven't asked all developers, so I've no idea.
As far as I can see, we've got everything to gain and nothing to lose by
trying it.
No. Because it's silly.
Why do you say that?
So far as I can tell, you're making a lot of assumptions about something
that's unknown.
You're talking about an astroturf community, which makes it just plain
silly. Throwing source at sourceforge does not cause developers to
spring into being any more than posting the source on opensolaris.org or
any other place.
Yup, agreed.
Maybe the point in time where this is an interesting idea has passed:, I
don't know. (I'm thinking maybe in the mid 1990s it would have been an
interesting idea: pre-ethereal/wireshark.)
